Hi. On my
Marine Trader the starboard
rudder gland is leaking. It is causing the
bilge pump to go off every twelve hours & this I am a bit concerned about. I am
posting a picture showing where it is leaking & wonder if some of you better versed than I can give a little help as to how to go about repacking this gland & is it possible to do it whilst the
boat is still in the
water. I am familiar with how the stern gland on the prop shaft has two nuts that have to be separated, Teflon type packing wrapped the shaft & the two large nuts tightened, but not to sure of the configuration I have on the
rudder. Any help/input would be most appreciated. Thank you.
